R motion - NSX race build
We've just bought this from salvage auction for a basis for a race car to run in the Honda Vtec Challenge.
Just wondering if it was owned by a forum member.
Was also on a private plate a few years ago - P4NDE
Will start a build thread soon.

R-Motion NSX Race Car Build
Well the build has started in ernest this week. First stage was to strip the car pretty much bare. First phase of this is done - all the interior electrics & loom, interior and most of the underbonnet gubbins.
Its been fascinating job as you get to see how they put it together. What is surprising though is all the effort they went into building a lightweight chassis and body only to then fill it with very heavy stuff! But then I suppose thats what the NSX-R was about.
For example, we weighed a few items that seemed a bit excessive.
Interior/front harness inlcuding all control boxes, ECU etc 25kgs
Steering column 11kgs
Twin aircon rads with cowling and fans 8kgs
Front bumper inc lights 12kgs
Anyway some pics:

This should be interesting to watch as this progresses.
Can I ask a boring question and ask what jack stands you are using?
